Sardine Salad Sandwich Recipes

For a vivid take on lunchtime tuna salad, use oil-rich sardines and skip the mayonnaise. Emulsifying the deeply seasoned oil from the sardine tin with lemon juice and mustard makes the salad creamy like mayonnaise does but with flavors that are more intense and pronounced. Add any of the sharp, crunchy, fresh pops you like in your tuna or whitefish salad, such as capers, cornichons, pickled peppers or herbs, and eat this sardine salad over greens, on a bagel or English muffin, or between two slices of toast.

Whenever I fly, I like to go armed with lunch, as the food in airports tends to be both appalling and expensive. Lately I've hitting the road with sandwiches that combine produce with canned fish, like sardines, herring, trout or smoked salmon - all of them high in omega-3 fatty acids, packed with protein and delicious. In some of this week's sandwiches, I used small whole-wheat English muffins that were lightly toasted. The muffins won't fall apart, even with a juicy filling like Greek salad, and I like the size. This is inspired by the classic Mediterranean combination of sardines and spinach. I like to use lightly smoked sardines in olive oil for it.
